Watching an endless loop of ten second clips? Haha this younger generation. When I was your age we used to watch a variety show starring an ostrich puppet, a man with a cowboy hat and a reel to reel sound player. It was so racist Harry Connick Jr. made a formal protest. It was three hours long

interview about a cool upcoming game that uses Yarn Spinner!
We chatted with #Demonschool creator Brandon Sheffield. Not only a beautiful blend of SMT demon hunting, Persona‘s social management with quick tactical combat, but also inspired by numerous classic horror movies... All of this appeals to me!

Some people are paid to watch the tinder for a wildfire alight in ember and only call when the chemical cascade begins its exponential.
Others are sentenced to get in there and fucking rake the firebreak.
Are you paying someone to rake, or are you waiting to watch the firestorm. Make a choice.

This is it in a nutshell. They don't want to work out a picture, they don't want to have an idea and develop it with sketches or brush strokes that take it in new, better directions and they certainly don't want to learn from mistakes, they just want to be given something.
AI is for people who don't want to or can't think. Period.
I write to figure out what I think and how to think about it better.

Today I opened up Word and now on every freaking line there is an icon for Microsoft's Copilot AI tool, always asking me to use it to write. WTF. After googling, it appears IMPOSSIBLE to remove. I cannot use Word with an AI tool. I'm a professional fucking writer. I don't want it inserting shit.

FYI, folks from Bluesky. Workers at The Barn, among other agricultural buildings, are now shutting the door after the horse got out. Shutting the door, telling people the door is shut, is a form of accountability for the horse that’s now completely free.
FYI, folks from Bluesky. Reporters at The NYT, among other news organizations, are now generating a giant wave of accountability stories about the new Trump era. Reading these stories, sharing them, is a form of accountability as well. It is a form of participatory democracy too. Substance matters.
